Yeah Dane pointed out a few days ago this was the same matchup were Beringer had a block party last year.

Maybe someday I will be memorialized in a summery of a Summer league thread by Q!
Your memorial would simply read Monster - One Ignorant Fuck

Well the Pelicans losing streak is over! We stormed the court!!!! Lol jk I watched them in a come from behind win against the Hornets who should have a massively more talented roster with multiple first round picks and guys that played real minutes for them last season. Anderson did some good things at PG but has not been particularly impressive in the 2 games I have seen.

I'll also add that Hunter likely was a pretty good matchup to measure both Rocco and Joan against in some ways. He is a pretty huge human being himself 7' in socks with a plenty lengthy wingspan and around 260lbs. He hit 3 threes in this game. He also put up 18 and 10 in the G-league last year. I'm not suggesting he is really good but I think a guy with his size and some solid skill going up against for sure an underdeveloped (physically) Rocco might be worth considering.

The Pels looked scrappy and some guys played especially on the perimeter well enough. Bufkin was one of the best players in the G-league last year and put up some good stats maybe too good for that level like Pullin. When reading about the Hornets last year some fans couldn't figure out why Sion James got minutes over Josh Green. Seeing him in Summer league he is fine I guess but I can't imagine him getting minute over an NBA rotation player. Maybe I'm missing something other than he is built like a tank.
